What's Allowed?

I've been on lots of forums that ban for linking to other sites and talking about jailbreak. Are we allowed to talk about Jailbreak of iPhones, iPods, or iPads on this site? Also, are we allowed to link to other sites? Not as advertising, but to help someone with a problem. Also, I hope the talk of piracy IS blocked...is it?

Didn't want to start a new thread for this...but how many posts do you need for an avatar?

How do I set my avatar?

Avatars are small images that display alongside a user's name. This is a feature that is reserved for established users on the MacRumors Forums. We require a 500 post minimum (user title 6502a or higher) before you are given the opportunity to upload your own custom avatar. A few users were given avatar privileges before this milestone because they won a forum contest.

Once you reach 500 posts you may not immediately be able to upload an avatar. The privilege is added automatically when the forum system does routine processing, so check again in a few hours. The delay is normal so please do not contact us to report it as a problem on the same day that you reach 500 posts.

MacRumors attracts a broad audience
of both consumers and professionals interested in
the latest technologies and products. We also boast an active community focused on
purchasing decisions and technical aspects of the iPhone, iPod, iPad, and Mac platforms.
